The New Orleans Recreation Development Commission (NORDC), along with elected officials and community members, are offering healthy concessions, free exercise options and family-friendly programming in three New Orleans community parks – Taylor Park, St. Roch Park and Norwood Thompson Park. The celebration kicks off at Norwood Park, and will include a community Zumba® warm up, a bicycling workshop, healthy cooking demonstrations and more.
The Fit NOLA Parks program is aimed at increasing the use of neighborhood parks and providing access to healthy foods in underserved areas. It is made possible by funding from Chevron and Fit NOLA Parks partners.
